All people need to do is watch his feuds with Muraco and Valentine for the Intercontinental championship to see how good he was. Yep. His feud with Valentine might be the best in ring feud the WWF ever had in the 80's. Each match gets better and better. For those who never saw it I'm sure YouTube has most of them. You have to see them in order though to get the full grasp. I was lucky enough to see one live and it was excellent.

Sure they can make more Crow Stings. Right after they make at least 5 Elite Surfer Stings. If that doesn't happen then no thanks.

I've seen some photos of this where his logo on his chest has red trim. I wonder which version is actually going to be released. I'd imagine this one.

Those seem like some really good prices for MOC. Most of those are good for loose. I'd pull the trigger if you can afford that much at once.

Awesome to hear about the Von Erich 2 pack. I have both Kerry figs from when they came out but I regretfully passed on Kevin. This will make up for it.

I have a curio cabinet that has autographed baseballs, footballs, pucks, etc. One shelf is dedicated for Mattel figs. I only display up to 10 figs at a time. I honestly don't like the clutter of more than 10. Not into the Congo line display. I probably change the display up once a month or so. Keeping it simple is the way to go IMO.

I hated that head on Sting so much that I just swapped out the basic green Sting head and put that on there. Looks pretty good.

Wow we might have to wait until 2019 to wait for a proper Surfer Sting? That really stinks. Not having a good Elite version is such a big void in my collection. I guess patience is the key here, but that is still a long time to wait when we should have at least 5 or more by now.

Good God I hope this is what we get. This is the Sting I've wanted since I found out Mattel was able to make him. Please. Yeah me too. I hope it's soon.

I voted Razor. I want more Rude figs, just not pink.

I really hope that WCW belt is for Sting. I'm sure it will be for Simmons or Vader though.

No I wouldn't preorder without seeing it. The only time I ever preordered was the Wolf Pac Sting because initially I thought it looked really cool from the pics. I regretted it once in hand but that's an entirely differently thread.

Love the Biker Taker. I missed it when it came around the first time and is way too expensive now. Can't wait for that one.

I have all the ones I want except for 2 luckily. Of course those 2 are always overpriced on the secondary market. I won't even mention who they are in hopes someone will sell them cheap soon 😄.

Sad to see him pass. I'm happy he isn't suffering anymore. He was battling cancer since 2002 or something crazy like that.
He was the greatest manager of all time. Everyone else is a distant second. I grew up with him in the AWA before he went to the WWF. He was always that constant presence in my wrestling fandom. He will be missed.
RIP. My prayers go out to his friends and family.

I've saved a few boxes as well in the garage and should probably just toss them as well. Really is no point.

More Surfer Stings are what I want the most. It's just puzzling what small amount we've gotten so far. I'm done with the Crow versions. They all look pretty much the same to me and I have no desire for another, even though I know more are on the way.
His best ring work was during his Surfer days and it isn't even close. I guess they hold more value in his Crow days due to the Monday Night Wars, despite his best actual wrestling was behind him at that point. I guess Mattel thinks those will sell more. Who knows. Still annoying as a collector.

By any Surfer Sting, Rick Rude and the Rock N Roll Express.

I'd buy one, HBK, Flair, Hitman, & Sting (blonde) all should be getting the Macho/Warrior treatment. Add Rick Rude to that list as well. I'd buy a Rockers Shawn without Marty. Depending on the attire, maybe 2 for a head swap.
